Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

La igualdad de género y el futuro de la Tierra
La igualdad de género no es sólo el interés de una mitad de la población mundial; es un derecho humano, algo que nos interesa a todos, porque ninguna sociedad puede desarrollarse –económica, política o socialmente- cuando la mitad de su población está marginada. No debemos dejar a nadie rezagado.
